Craigieburn’s Scouts were given a makeover last week courtesy of staff from Lend Lease, the developer building the new town centre.
Almost 40 Lend Lease employees switched from building to cleaning.
Team leader Nerissa Avdoulos said the 1st Craigieburn Scout Group project was chosen because it provided a great resource for the local community.
“We hope our modest contribution enables the organisation to continue its great work in supporting, training and mentoring our young Victorians,” she said.
Rover Scout Luke Critchley was delighted to have the sort of helping hand Scouts usually lend to others.
“The Scout hall is a hub with a range of activities taking place most week nights and weekends,” Luke said.
“It’s like a second home for most of us and the leaders, parents and children are very proud of their Scout hall. A well-maintained, functional and safe facility is vital to allow our group to thrive.”
It was Lend Lease’s 18th consecutive community day. Since the initiative began in 1996, employees have volunteered more than half a million hours worldwide.
